The contract was set to expire April 30 but will now run through May 31, according to BCBS Texas’ website. The sides in January extended the contract from Feb. 1 to April 30 as they continued negotiations.
BCBS Texas members with the following plans would be affected if the two sides are unable to reach an agreement by the deadline:
- Blue Choice PPO
- Blue Essentials
- Blue Advantage HMO
The sides are also negotiating a contract affecting Blue Advantage HMO members at Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood (Texas). That contract is set to expire April 30.
